Over Labor Day weekend we drove up to LaGrange, GA and had a fun filled 24 hours at Great Wolf Lodge! I wasn’t sure what to expect – and it wasn’t really what I was expecting – but the kids loved it and had a super fun time so that’s all that counts! We did it all but I think the ropes course was definitely the favorite part for the boys. It was really high and awesome! they each did it twice – but couldn’t ever do it at the same time because we only had one pair of closed toe shoes. Thank goodness Spencer wore Natives and Maxwell could squeeze his feet into them!

We got there Sunday afternoon and Maxwell immediately wanted to do the ropes course – even though they sent him to the very high one first he powered through and did great!

We then hit up the water park for a few hours.

That evening Spencer and Robert did the ropes course and we also bowled, played mini golf, and ate really healthy foods! ha!

On Monday morning we all decided we didn’t need to do the water park again but both boys definitely wanted another turn on the ropes course.

While they did that, Samantha mined for gems…

and we all spent too much money in the awesome arcade!

Overall a really fun 24 hours!

After our wet trek to Secret Falls, we got all cleaned up, had a good lunch and then hit the course to play a few holes!

All was going well until Maxwell tried to go retrieve his ball that was out in the drained lake. Not his best idea! I didn’t see him go out there but then heard him yelling, “Help!! It’s like quicksand!!” hahahaha! I looked over and he was shin deep in mucky mud!

Needless to say, he was not a happy camper!

Samantha and I took our cart and went to the house for some towels and clean socks. We got him cleaned up as best as we could and finished a few more holes until the rain came. A great afternoon!

That night we had dinner with our friends the Woods. We had gone to the club with them on Friday night…

and on Saturday night we went to their house for a great meal and some marshmallow tennis (which sounds exactly like what it is!)

There was also some Pie in the Face…

and a pretty remarkable sunset!

It was a great stay in the mountains! We all loved the break from the heat and we sure loved having the whole family back together again!!
